For many years I have used Acronisprodukte. Now had a meltdown and wanted to ensure a fine image. Came because actually a serial number query when you retrieve. Ok, I had number at hand, not a thing. Hello There !! Against pirate cassettes, the manufacturers want to protect understandably, I understand. If I have sunk my computer, I do not see something like that, it did not work. So bitten the bullet, number pure and secured back = no problem. Did the TI2013 software then uninstalled immediately me then look around for alternatives. O & O Diskimage7 had problems with the built-in hybrid drive (if another SATA drive is connected). Then try a Paragon freeware tool that has completely works without problems. Was so excited that I have allowed myself the same Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Suite. The program also runs well. But you should look at prior to the program exactly and test the functionality, because this is a powerful tool. Must register themselves too well (to pull updates), but that's OK, no problem.
